False Doctrines on Multiple Wives
Ex.1 Solomon sinned by having multiple wives, so it is a sin today and the practice is not of the Lord.
-
It is a common saying that Solomon sinned by having multiple wives because of the law concerning the kings not multiplying wives in Duet 17:17. In truth, the law is referring to a king abusing his power for gain which would result in a transgression against Ahayah as is evident by Duet 17:16 explaining how a king shouldn't abuse his power to multiply horses, nor sell the people to the Egyptians for horses in abuse of his power against Ahayah's covenant for the people:
Deu 17:16
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
-
The law in Duet 17:16 didn't restrict a king from having multiple horses in itself by evidence of David having 100 chariots with horses. {2 Sa 8:4} Also, Ahayah gave Solomon riches {1Ki 3:13} so that he had many of horses {1 kings 4:26} and horses out of Egypt, {1King 10:28} but he didn't abuse his power by sending the people to captivity to gain more horses as the law said and the horses were from Ahayah so he didn't multiply the horses on his own accord after a desire for gain. So the testimonies show multiple horses in itself was not the issue, but multiplying horses for gain or enslaving the people to the Egyptians for gain would have been a transgression for kings. Likewise, multiplying wives in itself was not the issue for kings but abusing one's power to multiply wives to one's self for lust was the issue because they would turn ones's heart away:
Deu 17:17
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
-
Solomon erred by abusing his power in multiplying wives in excess according to his lust instead of only taking what Ahayah gave him like he did with the horses:
1Ki 11:3
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other alahayim:
-
By precept, Solomon literally did what Ahayah said not to do and the result was exactly what Ahayah said would be the result. He took 1000 wives according to his lust unto himself and they turned his heart away from Ahayah. His act is an example of exactly what a king should not do according to the law. Solomon wasn't imputed sin for having multiple wives in itself because multiple wives in itself is not unlawful. The scriptures show what he was imputed sin for:
1Ki 11:1
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
1Ki 11:2
Of the nations concerning which AHAYAH said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their alahayim: Solomon clave unto these in love.
-
He is accounted for transgressing Ahayah's command in Deut 7:3-4 by making marriages with strange women who turned his heart away as Ahayah prophesied in the law would be the result of doing so:
Duet 7:3
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Deu 7:4
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other alahayim: so will the anger of AHAYAH be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
-
As it was shown before in "Understanding Marriage," wives are appointed to men, by evidence of Tobias' story. {Tobit 6:17} The sin of Solomon was taking strange wives that were not given to him by Alahayim through his lust which resulted in his heart being turned away. The testimonies confirm the sin of Solomon was marrying strange (unbelieving) wives not multiple wives in itself:
Neh 13:23
In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
Neh 13:25
And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by Alahayim, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Neh 13:26
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his Alahayim, and Alahayim made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Neh 13:27
Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our Alahayim in marrying strange wives?
-
(According to the testimonies, the transgression of Solomon was marrying unbelieving wives which turned his heart away to sin. The issue was not multiple wives according to the law and testimonies in itself, but "marrying strange wives" that turn your heart away is the sin of Solomon. The laws did not restrict kings from having multiple wives all together by evidence of king David, the perfect hearted {I King 15:3-5} who not only had wives, {8 wives (1Ch 3:1-5; 1 Sam 18:27} 10 servant-wives (2 Sam 12:11;15:16)} but was offered to be give more wives if he had desired them from Ahayah. {II Sam 12:7-8} A king ought not to multiply wives in abuse of his power according to his lust nor should anyone take strange (unbelieving) wives because in both cases, the wives who would turn away one's heart are what the laws were admonishing us about, not that multiple wives is not of the Lord. In Solomon's confession of his sin, he relays to us how his lust for a strange (unbelieving) woman lead him to error and she turned his heart away to sin against Ahayah:
Testament of Solomon 128
And I Solomon glorified Alahayim, and adorned the temple of Ahayah with all fair-seeming. And I was glad in spirit in my kingdom and there was peace in my days. And I took wives of my own from every land {Deu 17:17}, who were numberless. And I marched against the Jebusaeans, and there I saw a Jebusaean, the daughter of a man: and I fell violently in love with her, and desired to take her to wife along with my other wives. And I said to their priests: "Give me the Sonmanitess to wife." But the priest of Moloch said to me: "If thou lovest this maiden, go in and worship our alahayim, the great alahayim Raphan and the alahayim called Moloch." I therefore was in fear of the glory of Alahayim, and did not follow to worship. And I said to them: " I will not worship a strange alahayim. What is this proposal, that ye compel me to do so much?" But they said: "This commandment was given by our fathers."
Testament of Solomon 129
And I answered that I would on no account worship strange alahayim, they told the maiden not to sleep with me until I complied and sacrificed to the alahayim. I then was moved, but crafty Eros brought and laid by her for me five grass hoppers, saying: "Take these grasshoppers, and crush them together in the name of the alahayim Moloch; and then I will sleep with you." And this I actually did. And at once the Spirit of Alahayim departed from me, and I became weak as well as foolish in my words. And after that I was obliged by her to build a temple of idols to Baal, and to Raphan, and to Moloch, and to the other idols.
Testament of Solomon 130
I then, wretch that I am, followed her advice, and the glory of Alahayim quite departed from me; and my spirit was darkened, and I became the sport of idols and demons. Wherefore I wrote out this Testament, that ye who get possession of it may pity, and attend to the last things, and not to the first. So that ye may find grace for ever and ever. Amen
-
Solomon himself confessed his sin so that we would not fall in the same error of lusting for strange women and letting them lead our hearts away from Ahayah.
Joseph and Asenath 7:6
For Joseph had Alahayim always before his 2 eyes and ever remembered the injunctions of his father; for Jacob often spake and admonished his son Joseph and all his sons : " Keep yourselves, children, securely from a strange woman so as not to have fellowship with her, for fellowship with her is ruin and destruction."
-
By Solomon's account, his error was not having multiple wives, but that his lust after a strange woman turned his heart away to sacrifice to idols. The laws {Duet 17:17; 7:3-4} and testimonies concerning Solomon {1Ki 11:1-4; Neh 13:23-27} also show his sin was not multiple wives in itself but loving strange women, taking strange wives and abusing his power to multiply wives for his gain (lust), all of which would turn a man's heart away according to scripture. If the wives were believers like Zipporah of Midian, Ruth of Moab or Rahab of Canaan, his wives would not have been a snare unto him because they wouldn't have turned his heart away because a good believing wife, from any nation, is given in the portion of them that fear the Lord:
Sir 26:3
A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
In closing, the holy scriptures show marrying strange wives is a transgression for any man and multiplying wives in abuse of a king's power for gain (lust) will turn a king's heart away from the Lord.
Ex.2 The New Testament says “whosoever shall put away his WIFE” “it’s singular not plural, which means you can’t have multiple wives.”
{Matt 5:31-32, Matt 19:9,Mark 10:11,Luke 16:8}
-
There are no discussion in the scriptures making multiple wives unlawful all together because multiple wives were never unlawful in itself by evidence of Lamech before the flood {Genesis 4:19} Abraham, Jacob, Elkanah Samuel's father, and King David all who had multiple wives amongst other men. The question Yache was asked about in the Gospel was pertaining to "what reasons are lawful to divorce a spouse." Thus showing the topic was about divorce, not how many wives a man can have. From Yache's answer to the Pharisees, even if a man has multiple wives, if he divorces a wife save for the cause of fornication and marries another, he has committed adultery against her. For understanding through the testimonies, Abraham had two wives, Sarah and Hagar, {Gen 16:3} which is no adultery because they were both his wives, not another man's, and no wife was put away to marry another as Yache explained. Also, when Abraham did put away his wife Hagar, {Gen 21:14} he did not marry another in her lifetime, {Jubilees 19:11} because it would have been adultery against her according to Yache's teaching. According to the law, when she and Sarah died, he married another when he was free to do so {Rom 7:39} which wasn't adultery. Abraham remaining married to Sarah when he put Hagar away wasn't adultery because he didn't "put Hagar away to marry another," but actually "put Hagar away while still being married to Sarah, his first wife," which isn't adultery according to Yache's teaching. Also, Hagar remained unmarried {1Co 7:11} because it would have been adultery if she did marry another while put away from her husband since no fornication was committed.{Luke 16:18} Through the testimonies, Yache simply explained that divorce without proper cause and marrying another was adultery, not that multiple wives was unlawful or adultery if one went about things the right way by doing the following:
1. remaining married and marrying another
2. divorcing for the right cause and marrying another if the wife would not repent of her adultery or fornication.
-
In closing, Yache's teaching didn't mean a man can only have one wife, but explained how a man ought not divorce his wife for just any cause nor commit adultery against any wife.
Ex3. 1 Co 7:1-3 - Paul’s letter in Corinthians said “let each man have his own wife” that means you can only have one wife
-
Please reference "Are multiple wives righteous" to get edification on the fact that each wife a man has is his own wife. Paul's admonition is true and righteous. Jacob is a great example because he only slept with his own wives and he did not sleep with anyone else's to avoid fornication. Paul's admonition is not against multiple wives, but against fornication, which occurs when one sleeps with someone else's wife or a harlot and not your own wife(s). Fornication is also when a woman sleeps with a stranger that is not her own husband. The Corinthians struggled with fornication with harlots {Lev 19:29, I Cor 6:16-18} and a man taking his father's wife. {1Co 5:1} Paul did not speak against multiple wives in itself, but he spoke against a son for taking his father's wife because that is a transgression of the law {Lev 18:6-8} and fornicating with harlots because it is against the law. {Lev 19:29}
1Co 5:1
It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
-
This error was similar to the error Reuben made with his father's wife sadly.
Deuteronomy 22:30
30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
Lev 20:11
And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
1Co 5:3
For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
1Co 5:4
In the name of our Lord Yache Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Yache Christ,
1Co 5:5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yache.
-
He instructed them on what to do the next time they gathered together for an assembly because it wasn’t right to eat with the unrighteous as I Cor 5:11 shows. The next feast was the Passover, showing the churches were keeping the feast days too. He told them to separate that man from the congregation, so that he may be ashamed and repent. Notice no one judged him to stone him with stones, but they admonish him as a brother and separate from him, in hopes he would turn away from the iniquity.
II Thess 3:14-15
2Th 3:14
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
2Th 3:15
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
1Co 5:11
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
-
(If a man is called a brother in the Faith and he is operating in lawlessness, do not eat with him, so that he may be ashamed of his deeds.)
The Corinthians also struggled with fornication with Harlots
1Co 6:15
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?G4204 Alahayim forbid.
-
(There was also an issue of people sleeping with the harlots, which is fornication because a harlot is in constant fornication sleeping with men that are not her husband.)

Thayer Definition: 1) a woman who sells her body for sexual uses 1a) a prostitute, a harlot, one who yields herself to defilement for the sake of gain 1b) any woman indulging in unlawful sexual intercourse, whether for gain or for lust 2) metaphorically an idolatress
1Co 6:16
What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Co 6:17
But he that is joined unto Lord is one spirit.
1Co 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
-
(The union is a sin against one's self and one's wife if one is married because she is the body of the man.)
1Co 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of Alahayim, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Alahayim in your body, and in your spirit, which are Alahayim's.
-
In the 7th chapter of 1Corinthians, they asked Paul for solutions to avoid fornication and he gave them the two options according to the holy scriptures:
1Co 7:1
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Co 7:2
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
-
According to the Law and Testimonies, there are two options to avoid fornication:
-
Chastity like Paul remaining unmarried. {1Co 7:1, 7-8}
-
Get married like Levi to avoid fornication {1 Co 7:2} because a married woman is a tower against death to her husband. {Sir 26:22}
Testament of Levi 9:7-10
7 And he taught me the law of the priesthood, of sacrifices, whole burnt-offerings, first-fruits, freewill-offerings, peace-offerings. 8 And each day he was instructing me, and was busied on my behalf before the Lord, and said to me: 9 Beware of the spirit of fornication; for this shall continue and shall by thy seed pollute the holy place. 10 Take, therefore, to thyself a wife without blemish or pollution, while yet thou art young, and not of the race of strange nations.
Sir 26:22
An harlot shall bee accounted as spittle: but a married woman is a tower against death to her husband.
-
The spirit of fornication cannot get a man killed if he is laying with his own wife because she is a tower against death for him since the marriage bed is undefiled. {Heb 13:4} For example, Jacob didn't commit fornication with his first wife Leah, nor did he commit fornication with Rachel whom he received after Leah. Each wife is his own wife, not another man's and he is each woman's own husband as the head each woman in the house they both built up. {Ruth 4:11}
-
Paul's letters to Corinth were not discussing the legality of multiple wives, but were just concerning fornication by sleeping with other men’s wives and harlots. He simply gave two options to overcome fornication: Chastity or Marriage. Paul’s response to the Corinthian's questions and troubles is good doctrine.
1Co 7:6
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
1Co 7:7
For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of Alahayim, one after this manner, and another after that.
1Co 7:8
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
1Co 7:9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
-
(He is clear that if you cannot contain the desire, then get married so that you do not sin in fornication and burn.)
1Co 7:2
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
-
(Indeed, a man cannot sleep with another man’s wife, and a woman can't sleep with a stranger that's not her husband.)
1Co 7:3
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
-
An example is when Leah came to Jacob after her discussion with Rachel, he did not deny her intimacy as she asked for. {Genesis 30:15-16}
1Co 7:4
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
-
(In marriage, benevolence is due since husband and wife have power of each other's body.)
1Co 7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
-
Do not deny each other benevolence too long (unless that’s what you agreed on), lest you give place for the adversary to tempt you or your spouse to fornicate.)
Ex4. 1 Tim 3:2,12 “The bible says Bishops and Deacons can only have one wife, that’s why a man isn’t supposed to have multiple wives.”
-
Paul instructed Timothy on the necessary requirements for him to ordain Bishops and Deacons among the churches. The fact that it was required for a man to be the husband of one wife, substantiates that multiple wives was still common practice. Paul exhorted that if a man wanted to be a bishop, it was a good desire, but in order to be in that position, he needed to only have one wife. This requirement showed that men who had multiple wives or no wife were not able to be Bishops or Deacons, yet it did not hinder those other men with multiple wives or no wives from being apart of the ministrations of the Body in other positions. [I Cor 12:27-28] Men who are unmarried or have multiple wives can still be Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, workers of miracles, have gifts of healing, or diversities of tongues even though they may be unmarried or have multiple wives. They can also still be disciples as members of the Church as well. Men, whether unmarried, married or having multiple wives, are not withheld from receiving salvation, as is evident by Paul the unmarried Apostle and Jacob the prophet with four wives who are all alive in the heavens by faith in Yache. [Matt 23:32] The requirement for a Bishop or Deacon to have one wife was just a means to narrow down and select a Bishop or Deacon who could bear the burden of the congregation. The restriction did not pertain to all church members as is evident by scriptures. The scriptures don't restrict all the members of the Body of Christ to one wife or else our father, Jacob, could not be a member of the Church.
1Ti 3:1
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Ti 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 3:12
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
-
This shows that it was never Paul’s instruction to degrade men with multiple wives or condemn it as evil since it was only a requirement to be a bishop or deacon, not a member of the Church like an apostle, disciple, or prophet. Paul himself, a Benjamite by nation, comes from a lineage of multiple wives thru his forefather Benjamin, the son of Jacob. So it would be a reproach unto his fathers to degrade a man with multiple wives. Paul just gave a good guideline for choosing a Bishop and a Deacon over the physical church since the people practiced multiple wives already. Timothy had to narrow down his selection to the one's that had one wife for the congregation as the Lord Yache commanded Paul to tell him. This law did not stop men with multiple wives, nor men sworn unto chastity from doing the work of Alahayim. Paul, John and Judas Thomas were not Bishops over a physical church, but Apostles building the spiritual church unto Christ though unmarried. Also, David, a man of a few wives, was a preacher and lawgiver unto the people in his days {Gad the seer chapter 8} and currently the lead psalms singer in the 7th heaven before the Lord. {Apocalypse of Paul 29}
Ex5. Lastly, The Doctrine Condemning Multiple Wives as not being of the Most High
-
This heresy is actually against the Spirit of Prophecy, which is the testimony of Yache. The Most High built the House of Israel from multiple wives according to His will:
Rth 4:11
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Ahayah make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
-
Multiple wives will still be lawful in the kingdom of Christ where Jacob will have his four wives with him during the reign of Yache. We will no longer be concerned with marriages after Yache's 1000 year reign when the righteous will be transformed into angels. Then, is when no one will be concerned with marriages because they will all be as the angels in heaven.
Matthew 22:29-30
29 Yache answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of Alahayim.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of Alahayim in heaven.
-
In these latter times of this world, He will save his daughters of Zion through multiple wives according to the Spirit of Prophecy in Isaiah 4:1. All things written must come to pass because Ahayah's mouth has commanded it and none of the words shall fail because it is the spirit of prophecy, which is Christ, that has gathered them:
Rev 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yache: worship Alahayim: for the testimony of Yache is the spirit of prophecy.
Isaiah 34:16
Seek ye out of the book of Ahayah, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
-
In the last days of this world before Yache's 1000 year reign, the prophecies show the sinners of Israel will be destroyed:
Amo 9:9
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
Amo 9:10
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
-
At the same time, the daughters of Zion, who will be struggling with the lusts of the flesh, will be purged from their struggles by the baptism of fire through the afflictions the Lord will bring upon them in faithfulness to help them overcome their struggles in the perilous times to come, which will bring them to a place of humility to take hold of the word of life to perform all righteousness in the fruits of the Spirit continuing in faith, charity, and holiness with sobriety. Let's look at the prophecies to see how it will come to pass:
Isa 2:12
For the day of Ahayah of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isa 2:17
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and Ahayah alone shall be exalted in that day.
-
( Isaiah is speaking of the end of this world and the events that will be taking place to bring the proud and lofty to a low estate.)
Isa 2:18
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
-
(He will abolish the evil spirits that are worshiped/obeyed in the earth.)
Isa 2:19
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of Ahayah, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
-
The evil spirits will flee to hide in the rocks and caves:
Isa 2:20
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
-
Idol worship is still prevalent today, so you know these prophecies are still in motion and have yet to come to pass:
Isa 2:21
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of Ahayah, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:22
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
-
Ahayah is warning all mankind to stop trusting in the men of this world, their vain ideologies, and doctrines because the same men that fed us the lies to turn us away from Alahayim, will not be accounted of on that great day before Alahayim. Instead, trust in the mediator between man and Alahayim, the Man Yache Christ. {I Ti 2:5}
Isaiah 3:1
For, behold, the Lord, Ahayah of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah...
-
This prophecy is about the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem, let’s see what the Lord Christ will take away from them:
...behold, the Lord, Ahayah of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
-
The staff represents the stay of the tribe:
Judah 14:3
3 For I gave my staff, that is, the stay of my tribe;
-
Thus, ruling will not be in the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. The stay of bread and water being taken away is loss of resources due to the iniquity of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem:
Eze 4:16
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
Eze 4:17
That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
-
With there being limited resources and rulership being taken away because of iniquity, righteous men to govern and guide the people will also be taken away:
Isaiah 3:2-3
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
-
In these later times, the righteous and wise governors of the Jews will be taken away from ruling and guiding the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem:
Isaiah 3:4
And I will give children to be their princes...
-
In these later times, children will be treated with more reverence as heads or masters in the household over the men of the house and the focus will be on pleasing the children instead of pleasing the man of the house.
Isa 3:4
…. and babes shall rule over them.
-
Babes ruling over these men of Judah and Jerusalem are those who are unlearned in words of righteousness:
Hebrews 5:13
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
-
Since the staff to rule is taken away, babes (which are unskilled or unqualified people as a babe being unlearned or unskilled) will rule over the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem in the career field being in positions of authority over them though they may not be as skilled or learned in the respective profession. While in the family life, instead of their women’s desire being unto them and submitting to their husband's rule over them as the law commands in Gen 3:16, the women will be focused on catering to and pleasing their children instead of their spouse.
Isaiah 3:5
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour:...
-
The people, speaking of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem, shall be oppressed being under unworthy people in their jobs and not being held in high regard in their home life. Also, they will be oppressed by one another, so those around them will oppress them and they also shall oppress their neighbor, trespassing against one another:
....the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient...
-
A young child will be proud against elders and due to pride and the environment at home of their parents treating them as princes and princesses, not correcting their errors according to the law and fruits of the Spirit, catering to them which cockers them and doesn’t help them learn humility:
Ecclesiasticus 30:9
Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
Definition:
Cocker: "to nurse," "coddle," "pamper"
Ecclesiasticus 30:8
horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful.
-
Amongst the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem, this cockering or pampering and leaving children to themselves instead of training them in the way that they should go will lead them to behaving proudly against elders:
Isa 3:5
…the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
-
the base will behave proudly against the honorable, so by pride contention will be between the child and elder and the base and honorable amongst the Jews. So by prophecy, there will be pride and contention amongst the Jews, no rulership, no resources, disorderliness and dishonor in the households, dishonor for elders, raising children in unrighteousness, unrighteous children through lack of nurture, oppression by others, and against one another. With all this to come, the righteous, who prepared themselves to be content with less understanding the times to come, will be held in high regard:
Isaiah 3:6
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father...
-
This will be amongst the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem:
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
-
The righteous of the Jews will be content with clothing making due with the little everyone shall have in the ruin to come and when the wicked of the Jews see that he is sustaining in the midst of everything that’s going on, they will offer him the glory and honor of being their ruler to help them, but the righteous will respond saying:
Isaiah 3:7
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
Isaiah 3:8
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against Ahayah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
-
The righteous will be tempted with vain glory of honor and rulership over the Jews but he will not desire the vain glory or honor of men to be a ruler of the people and won’t desire to be responsible for healing and getting them out of the state of ruin because he understands there is no healing to come and he must be ready to flee society when the time comes.
Isaiah 3:7
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing
-
Notice the righteous didn’t have the excess of resources in his house to provide for a wife, as a wife would require food and raiment:
Exodus 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
-
So the righteous man won’t be seeking a wife in the midst of the ruin of Judah and Jerusalem as he does not have the resources necessary to provide for a wife. Thus far in prophecy, we have the ruin of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem while the righteous have little, yet are content not seeking a wife in preparation to leave as pilgrims in the earth as things are falling apart for the Jews because of our sins.
Isaiah 3:8
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against Ahayah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
-
The reason the Jews will have fallen and be in ruin is because our words and actions are against Ahayah not keeping his commandments and walking in the fruits of the Spirit
Isaiah 3:9
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them...
-
The pride of their continence shows they don’t have Alahayim in their thoughts to do right in these times:
Psalms 10:4
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after Alahayim: Alahayim is not in all his thoughts.
Isa 3;9
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not...
-
In pride like Sodom, everyone does their own will and declare it, not being ashamed to hide their way of living though it’s not right what they are doing.
Isa 3:9
….Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves
-
Everyone will be rewarded for what they do in these times to come, whether good or bad:
Isaiah 3:10
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
-
The righteous will make it through the ruin to come by their fruits of good works:
2 Esdras 16:67
Behold, Alahayim himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever: so shall Alahayim lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.
2 Esdras 16:74
Hear, O ye my beloved, saith the Lord: behold, the days of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same.
2 Esdras 16:75-76
Be ye not afraid neither doubt; for Alahayim is your guide, And the guide of them who keep my commandments and precepts, saith the Lord Alahayim: let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your iniquities lift up themselves.
2 Esdras 9:7-8
And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed, Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.
-
So it will be well with the righteous as Isaiah said because of the fruits they have in good works keeping commandments and precepts by faith:
Isaiah 3:11
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
2 Esdras 16:77
Woe be unto them that are bound with their sins, and covered with their iniquities like as a field is covered over with bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through!
2 Esdras 16:78
It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be consumed therewith.
Amos 9:10
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
-
Of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem, who in their pride declare their sin and are not ashamed to hide it and think nothing will happen to them in the evil time, they shall die by the sword. Being lead astray through sins against Alahayim, the family structure and societal structure of the Jews will stray away from righteousness:
Isaiah 3:12
As for my people, children are their oppressors...
- Men lacking the faith would have their children being taskmasters over them. Whether the scenario of the father trying to gain the children’s adoration for the sake of the bad relationship with the spouse, being together or separated. Or, trying to be liked by the child to do whatever makes the child happy for self satisfaction while not correcting the child’s bad habits.
Sir 30:9
Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
Sir 30:10
Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end.
Sir 30:11
Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies.
-
A father pampering his child and being playful with him in his errors and ignoring his follies and not correcting them and giving him freedom to do what he wants will only lead to the father’s disappointment in the end. We see what would befall the father-child relationship. Let’s see how things would go for women in the times to come:
Isaiah 3:12
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
-
A symptom of the ruin of the Jews is women ruling over them so it would be a time of women being exalted or promoted in society while the men are coming to ruin. In the household, women will rule the household as oppose to the men according to the hierarchy of Alahayim wherein a woman’s desire would be to her husband and he would rule over her. These thing being done out of order by the babes and women ruling over the men will be causing the nation of Jews to err and destroy the right paths they should be walking in wherein a woman is humble submitting herself to her husband instead of ruling over him.
Isaiah 3:13
Ahayah standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
-
For the wrongdoings and ill words of the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judah, Ahayah will be judging the people with afflictions:
Isaiah 3:14
Ahayah will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
-
In this ruin of Jerusalem and Judah, the elders and people in high rank are taking advantage of the poor and storing up wealth for themselves in their own houses:
Isaiah 3:15
What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord Ahayah of hosts.
-
So we see as Jerusalem’s falling and being ruined, we can see the condition of the men in pride not ashamed to do and declare their own will, speaking against Ahayah and doing bad works to provoke Ahayah and their women’s rule causing them to err and go away from right paths, in their work environments babes rule over them so they are working under less qualified or knowledgeable individuals than themselves, then in their family life, their women are more focused on reverence and pleasing their children instead of their husbands, and unbelieving men are oppressed by their children because they are focused on being liked by or adored by their children to do what they want, while the righteous man is going to be aware of the times focused on contentment making due with little in preparation to leave as he knows the ruin of the people is not reversible and the time will come to flee society. With all that, we get a good understanding of what the prophecies show the men of the Jews will be going through. Now the Lord goes unto the daughters of Zion in these times to come:
Isaiah 3:16
Moreover Ahayah saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton H8265 eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
-
Unfortunately in the midst of Jerusalem’s ruin, the daughters of Zion will struggle with haughtiness, stubbornness, and wanton eyes
Definitions:
Haughty: arrogantly superior and disdainful
Stretched-forth necks: pride in self and scorn toward others; looking about to see if others notice one's beauty
Wanton eyes: Seductive or sensual glance
H8265 (Strong)
שקר
A primitive root; to ogle, that is, blink coquettishly: - wanton.
Ogle: stare at in a lecherous manner
Lecherous: having or showing excessive or offensive sexual desire
Coquettishly: behaving in such a way as to suggest a playful sexual attraction; flirtatious.
-
The women would struggle with being flirtatious with their eyes and enticing others to desire them
Wanton: sexually immodest or promiscuous.
Rueben Chapter 5:3, 1-2, 5
3 For moreover, concerning them, the angel of the Lord told me, and taught me, that women are overcome by the spirit of fornication more than men, and in their heart they plot against men; and by means of their adornment they deceive first their minds, and by the glance of the eye instill the poison, and then through the accomplished act they take them captive. 4 For a woman cannot force a man openly, but by a harlot’s bearing she beguiles him.
1 For evil are women, my children; and since they have no power or strength over man, they use wiles by outward attractions, that they may draw him to themselves. 2 And whom they cannot bewitch by outward attractions, him they overcome by craft.
5 Flee, therefore, fornication, my children, and command your wives and your daughters, that they adorn not their heads and faces to deceive the mind: because every woman who useth these wiles hath been reserved for eternal punishment.
-
For the struggle with pride and fornication in the daughters of Zion, the Lord will have mercy to give them what they need for them to come out their struggles for His mercy sake and He will afflict them in faithfulness to save them:
Psalms 119:75
I know, O Ahayah, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
-
In the end of this affliction to come his daughters will understand it was good for them and they will appreciate it because it was to help them learn to keep his word:
Psalms 119:71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
-
So you see the daughters will come out on the right side of things. The Lord will afflict the daughters of Zion in the things that matter to them like their beauty and physical appearance. Let’s see what afflictions the Lord will bring upon his daughters to help them come out of the struggles with fornication and pride:
Isaiah 3:17
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Ahayah will discover their secret parts.
-
Scalp issues will arise for them and their iniquities will get revealed by the losing of their hair:
1Co 11:6
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
-
So you can see the shame that comes with being bald as a woman, but as we see in modern society for a women to be bald is normalized.
1Co 11:15
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
-
The long hair is actually the woman’s glory from Alahayim. The daughters of Zion were once adorned in righteous modest apparel, but due to haughtiness, pride and fornication at work, the Lord will take away their glory of dressing modestly:
Isaiah 3:18-23
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
-
The women, when in the Lord and faithful, dressed in layers to cover their physique for modesty and covered their heads in shamefacedness, but as they turned away from the Lord in haughtiness and fornication, they are not ashamed to go about in the world with uncovered heads and dress immodestly exposing their breast, shoulders and legs to entice others to desire them. You can see the dichotomy of a woman strong in faith as oppose to one struggling in faith or outside of the faith through their outward appearance.
Isaiah 3:24
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink;...
-
They shall have hygiene issues and in spirit, the stench of evil spirits instead of the sweet smell of the Holy Spirit will be with them because of the evil spirits they will be entangled in:
...and instead of a girdle a rent;...
-
A girdle was among women who are better off financially, while a rent being a rope shows the poverty of the women in these times.
...and instead of well set hair baldness;...
-
They will experience hair loss along with the scalp issues that will arise from the Lord because of their iniquities:
...and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth;...
-
Instead of girding themselves in fine apparel they will be brought down from their pride to mourning in sackcloth in the ruin and fall of Judah and Jerusalem to come:
and burning instead of beauty.
-
The women will go through hard times, burning from cuts and bruises of the times to come needing a covering from the evils of the world.
Isaiah 3:25
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
-
The men that these daughters of Zion are with during their struggle with pride and fornication, will die by the sword and war to come when the beast is given his 42 months to destroy the saints.
Revelation 13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:5
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Revelation 13:7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
-
During the time of this war, the men of those daughters of Zion will die, so let’s see what the daughter of Zion will do:
Isaiah 3:26
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate H5352 shall sit upon the ground.
Definition:
H5352
נקה
A primitive root; to be (or make) clean (literally or figuratively); by implication (in an adverse sense) to be bare, that is, extirpated: - acquit X at all, X altogether, be blameless, cleanse, (be) clear (-ing), cut off, be desolate, be free, be (hold) guiltless, be (hold) innocent,...
BDB Definition:
1) to be empty, be clear, be pure, be free, be innocent, be desolate, be cut off
1a) (Qal) to be empty, be clean, be pure
1b1) to be cleaned out, be purged out
1b2) to be clean, be free from guilt, be innocent
-
The affliction in faithfulness that the Lord will bring upon the daughters of Zion will make them "desolate" which by definition in the Hebrew shows He will actually cleanse them by purging out their hearts of the spirits they struggled with to make their hearts clean and desolate of evil spirits so that He and the holy spirits will have a clean pure place to dwell in. Thus, the daughters of Zion will be brought out of their weaknesses in pride and fornication lamenting and mourning and desolate without a husband to cover them yet humbled by their experiences to no longer lift themselves up but sitting upon the ground in humility of heart having been cleansed from the lusts of the flesh they were struggling with.
2 Esdras 16:33
The virgins shall mourn, having no bridegrooms; the women shall mourn, having no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, having no helpers.
2 Esdras 16:34
In the wars shall their bridegrooms be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
-
This will befall the unbelievers. When these things come to pass within the 42 months of the beast, these daughters of Zion will be seeking a covering as there will not be many righteous men left. For the righteous man, it will be well with him as he will escape the trouble to come by his good works to be among the remnant that escape the troubles and are called holy:
Isaiah 4:2
In that day shall the branch of Ahayah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Isaiah 4:3
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
-
Remember he will not be seeking a wife because he doesn’t have food or raiment to provide for a wife though he can only give the duty of marriage to sleep with her and let her be called by his name:
Isaiah 3:7
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing...
-
Notice it said "in that day," speaking of the times of the ruin and fall of Jerusalem and Judah to come in the war. In that day, the righteous won’t have the excess of resources in his house to provide for a wife, as a wife would require food and raiment according to Exodus 21:7-10 so he won’t be seeking marriage in those times. Those daughters of Zion on the other hand, were ruling over the men during the fall of Jerusalem according to Isaiah 3:12 so they will have the resources they need like food and raiment after things go down with their men falling away by sword and war, and they will be desolate without a covering sitting upon the ground representing their humility they came to through the experience the Lord takes them through…"In that day" let’s see how things will play out:
Isaiah 4:1
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man,...
-
They will take hold of that one man who had no bread or clothing in his house to provide for another wife so he wasn’t looking for one but they are taking hold of him seeking a covering as few righteous men of Judah and Jerusalem will be left in that day to come, so there won’t be many to choose from. Let see what they say to that man:
...saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
-
They are offering him to be responsible for themselves to provide the two things he would need to provide them as their husband as a bargain to convince him to only let them be called by his name… The thing is, they can’t be called by his name unless he takes them for wives and sleeps with them according to precept:
Tobit 3:8
Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had lain with her.
-
So these men paid dowry to espouse her but did not sleep with her, let’s see if that constitutes completed marriage:
Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any of them.
-
Though espousal was paid for her, she never was named after any of them because none of them lay with her to compete the marriage process, hence, a woman cannot be called by a man’s name unless he marries her and lays with her to be called by his name. This means in Isaiah 4:1, if that man who those seven women came to will not perform the duty of marriage to sleep with them since they will provide food and raiment for themselves, the women will not be called by his name as they were asking him to do for them:
Isaiah 4:1
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name,….
-
The precepts help understand that during the war against the saints and fall and ruin of Jerusalem, the seven women will be offering that righteous man to provide their own food and raiment only if he would agree to marry them and lay with them to let them be called by his name. If the man agrees and lays with them, he will take away their reproach:
..only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
-
By precept for our understanding, the way a woman’s reproach is taken away in scripture is by conceiving seed to have children in the Old Testament and to continue forward in righteousness keeping it pure.
Genesis 30:23
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, Alahayim hath taken away my reproach:
-
This understanding also holds true in the New Testament as well:
Luke 1:24
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Luke 1:25
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
-
It’s a woman’s own deeds that causes her to die childless hence bearing children takes away her reproach:
Enoch 98:5
And barrenness has not been given to the woman, but on account of the deeds of her own hands she died without children
-
So during the fall and ruin of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem within the 42 months of the beast warring against them, the seven daughters of Zion will marry and conceive seed for a righteous man of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem to take away their reproach amongst men. These things will come to pass "in that day" when the men of Judah and Jerusalem bud forth in the fruits of the Spirit to escape the tribulations to come:
Isaiah 4:2
In that day shall the branch of Ahayah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Isaiah 4:3
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
-
The daughters of Zion also will bud forth in the fruits of the Spirit being washed from the filth of pride and fornication and the blood of their iniquities by the Lord Yache Christ:
Isaiah 4:4
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
-
After these things, these polygamous households of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem will flee to the wilderness eventually to be under the cloudy pillar and shadow of Christ as in the exodus when the forefathers left with their families out of Egypt:
Isaiah 4:5
And Ahayah will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Isaiah 4:6
And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
-
Thus, the righteous men of Judah and Jerusalem will agree to care for these women as a testimony of the long-suffering and mercy of Ahayah, by taking them in despite of their struggles in unrighteousness just as Yache showed compassion upon them. The women will also convert unbelievers to the faith by their chaste behavior submitting themselves to their own husband. {1Pe 3:1-2} So according to prophecy, multiple wives being lawful will enable the seven women to be saved by being the wives of the one man and having their reproach taking away by bearing him children. In regards to bearing children, the daughters of Zion, being of the children of Israel, have to obey the whole law:
Gad the Seer :9-10
9 For we are His allies: we are different from thee by the law of truth, sealed by the seal of the Almighty, called children of Alahayim of truth.
10 And therefore we have to obey the whole Law for we were commanded by the Name saying "Speak unto the children of Israel."
-
So the daughters of Zion must fulfill the law from the beginning:
Genesis 3:16
[16]Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
-
By submitting themselves to the one man, they will have their desire to their husband and submit to his rule over them. They also have to bear children by natural birthing to fulfill the law for their salvation:
1Timothy 2:15
[15]Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
-
When the righteous man marries those women as they desired him to do and they bear children while continuing in faith, charity, holiness, and sobriety, they would have fulfilled the law and having their reproach taken away and giving no occasion for the adversary to speak reproachfully:
1Ti 5:14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
-
These are the things that the daughters of Zion must fulfill so that the Adversary may not have any reproach against them because they would have married, bear children, and guided the house. The afflictions of the women unto humility is the Lord cleansing the daughters of Zion and the tribulations He will bring will purge the blood (iniquity) of the men of Jerusalem to fulfill these prophecies:
Isa 4:4
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
- By prophecy, its the Lord who will do thses things to cleanse and purge his sons and daughters. These prophecies shall not fail {Isa 34:16} and the fruits of the Spirit will abound in the men and women who partake in these prophecies and escape the trouble to come being perfected by the baptism of fire:
Isa 4:2
In that day shall the branch of Ahayah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
-
These prophecies will be fulfilled and not fail because the mouth of Ahayah commanded them and multiple wives being lawful is the key to its fulfillment and saving the daughters of Zion. All these things shall come to pass by the Spirit of Prophecy. Also, women, with or without children, who may have become widowed during the tribulation or beforehand will also be saved by the Most High when a righteous man, of whatever nation he may be of, becomes a husband and father to the family as well:
Sir 4:10
Be as a father unto the fatherless, and instead of an husband unto their mother: so shalt thou be as the son of the Most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother doth.
